Casey's pool was not kept up properly every year, so now it leaks water.
- (Casey) I've learned that I haven't been on top of things recently.
- I know the feeling. That's when you keep putting things off and avoid starting on tasks.
- Exactly right, and I finally learned that the hard way. I had a swimming pool for years that I just took for granted.
- That's a nice luxury to have. It can be a great way to relax.
- Unfortunately, I haven't been maintaining it properly and it's started to leak water. I should have been more careful.
- That's a tough pill to swallow. I wonder if you could hire a contractor to check it out.
